Hello, I was happily using this system for about a year now without any trouble at all.We have frequent electricity breakdowns, but nothing damaging ever happened, BUT everything changed when, today, the BIOS wasn't able to detect the SATA HDD. I tried re-wiring, but nothing happened. Then I turned the SATA mode from "Native (Enhanced)" to "Legacy" in the BIOS. The Hard Disk is being detected in that ( Legacy ) mode ( sometimes ). I was able only once to get to the "Windows 7 loading screen", but it seemingly hanged there, and there was that problem once again. ( No HDD detection in BIOS ) I even updated the BIOS, but in vain. I thought, that my SATA drive was faulty, so I removed it's cables, and tried to install XP on the 40 GB PATA Hard Disk.

The XP Setup goes as it should, but at the 1st restart, I get this when trying to boot from the PATA Drive " Disk Read Error. Press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart your computer."

I was being shown the same error, when I was trying to boot from the SATA drive.

I think the storage controller has developed some problems, should I try some solutions or return it for warranty ?
